| Course Title: Women in History: 'Women and Gender in Modern China' |
| Start Date: 01/21/2020 End Date: 05/05/2020 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2020 |
| Description: This course introduces the changes in Chinese women's lives-and the changes in shared social ideas about what women should do and be-from the late 19th century to the present, a time of profound change on the Chinese mainland. The central question animating the course is this: when we foreground gender as a category of analysis, how does history look different? The course is organized chronologically. Course materials include a textbook to introduce broad themes, scholarly monographs and articles, primary sources from the 19th and 20th centuries, visual and material artifacts, and films. |
